The French and Canadian leaders stressed on Friday the need for closer ties between Ottawa and Europe to offset global turbulence sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
French President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Mark Carney met ahead of a G7 summit next week in Evian, on the shores of Lake Geneva.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday more than ever, we share the same reading of the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are seeing that the international order is fragmented, that it is marked by the return of power politics, by the challenge to common rules, by economic coercion, by interference, by information warfare,\u201d Macron said, referring especially to the tariff war launched by Trump.<\/p>\n
\u201cDeep down, we believe in the rule of law, in the international order, in science, in climate change and what it implies in terms of respecting our democratic values and protecting them, and in protecting our children as well,\u201d he said, citing issues on which Trump frequently fuels controversy.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the face of this, our two countries share the same conviction \u2014 democracies must be clear-eyed, strong and able to act together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carney added in English: \u201cWorking together, Canada, France and Europe are poised to be a powerful force for good in the century ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since his return to power, Trump has multiplied hostile statements against Canada, as well as commercial and economic attacks, again referring to Canada as the \u201c51st state\u201d of the U.S. on June 1 on his Truth Social network.<\/p>\n
